Weekend Plans in Tokyo: Summer Sonic

What: For two sweaty days every August, rock and pop fans brave the heat and humidity at Summer Sonic, a massive international music festival that takes place simultaneously in Tokyo and Osaka (Tokyo’s Saturday lineup performs in Osaka on Sunday and vice versa). Headliners include Jamiroquai, New Order, Azealia Banks and Sigur Rós, alongside Japanese bands such as the J-pop trio Perfume. The bigger names finish playing around 9:30 p.m., but DJs keep the party going all night long on Saturday night.
